Fixes https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/37286
Automatic release notes for the first release in a repository were empty
when there was no previous tag.
Before this change, the release notes generator used the tag name to
build the changelog link, but reused that state for pull request
collection. When `PreviousTag` was empty, the PR collection logic did
not scan a useful commit range, so merged pull requests were omitted
from the generated notes.
This pull request fixes that by decoupling the internal PR collection
range from the rendered changelog link:
- when a previous tag exists, behavior stays unchanged
- when no previous tag exists, release notes collect merged pull
requests from the full reachable history up to the target tag
- the displayed full changelog link for the first release still uses the
existing `/commits/tag/{tag}` format
Tests were updated to cover:
- generating notes for a repository with no previous tags
- including merged pull requests before the first tag
- preserving existing behavior when a previous tag exists
## Summary
- Update golangci-lint v2.9.0 → v2.10.1, misspell v0.7.0 → v0.8.0,
actionlint v1.7.10 → v1.7.11
- Fix 20 new QF1012 staticcheck findings by using `fmt.Fprintf` instead
of `WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(...))`
- Fix SA1019: replace deprecated `ecdsa.PublicKey` field access with
`PublicKey.Bytes()` for JWK encoding, with SEC 1 validation and curve
derived from signing algorithm
- Add unit test for `ToJWK()` covering P-256, P-384, and P-521 curves,
also verifying correct coordinate padding per RFC 7518
- Remove dead staticcheck linter exclusion for "argument x is
overwritten before first use"
## Test plan
- [x] `make lint-go` passes with 0 issues
- [x] `go test ./services/oauth2_provider/ -run
TestECDSASigningKeyToJWK` passes for all curves

Similar to GitHub, release notes can now be generated automatically.
The generator is server-side and gathers the merged PRs and contributors
and returns the corresponding Markdown text.
